ENOS PATTEN AND THOMAS DAVEY, OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS; SAID DAVEYASSIGNOR TO SAID PATTEN.

SOLE BUFFING CLEANING, AND EDGE SETTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,169, dated January31, 1882.

Application filed Juno 6, 1881.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ENos PATTEN, a citizenof the United States, and THOMAS DAVEY, a subject of the British Empire,both residing at Lynn,in the conntyofEssex and Common wealth ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aCombined Sole Buffing,Oleaning,and Edge Setting Machine; and we dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and concisedescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

Ourinvention relates to that class of machines used for the purpose ofedge-settin g, sole-buffing, and sole-cleaning in the manufacture ofboots and shoes.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and effectiveapparatus which shall be adapted to be used for all the purposes abovespecified by a simple interchange of certain parts.

The invention consists in certain details of construction, allhereinafter fully set forth and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevationofour improved machine; Fig. 2, a side elevation; Fig. 3, a plan, partlyin section. Fig. 4 shows a front elevation of an edge-setting tooladapted for use in connection with the machine in the place of thebuffer. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same.

In Figs. 1 and 2 of these drawings, A represents a counter-shaft,suspended from the ceiling by suitable hinges,b b. It is intended toreceive motion from a band on pulley a, and is provided with anotherpulley, a, for transmitting the motion received. On the shaft A issuspended afra-me, B,adapted to swing freely thereon. To this is pivoteda lower frame, 0, by central pivot, 0, through the end bars, which pivotpermits the lower frame to turn on the upper, thus inclining the planeof one frameto thatof the other. In the lower frame is hung a shaft,D,provided with pulley f, connected to pulley a by band h, and with a see-I described.

(N0 model.)

the shaft D is pivoted a bow or frame, E, to which is fixed arm E inline with pulley c. On the outer end of this arm is pivoted axiallytherewith a short extension, F, (shown in section in Fig; 3,) to whichis attached by transverse pivot a head, G, the pivot passing through ahole in the tongue of the head G.

In the head G revolves a shaft, H, carrying a pulley fixed thereto, andrevolving in a recess in the head in line with pulley e. A band connectsthe two pulleys, and communicates motion to the shaft H. On one end ofthe shaft H is a buffer, M, usually covered with sandpaper, whichrevolves with the shaft. Outside of that, loose, but held on by a screw,is a handle, N. Another handle, also loose, is shown at m on the otherside of the head G. Outside this and on the end of H is a pad, L,

of ordinary construction, slightly flexible and covered with sand-paper.Instead of this, a brush may be attached. By taking hold of one or bothof these handles the tool may be turned and applied to work in anydirection. The tool may be turned vertically from the pad L by means ofthe axial point or pivot between parts of arms E and F, or, using bothhandles, the tool may be. turned horizontally to apply the buffer M.

The interchangeable tool for edge'settingis shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Inthis is a shaft, 4, corresponding to shaft H in tool heretofore It iscarried in. a corresponding head formed with a tongue like the tongue ton G. The shaft turns in bearings 9 9. A block, 10, fixed to one side ofthe head, has 8 fixed thereto a handle, 3, and an arm-rest, 13, toenable the operator to steady the tool. The shaft 4 is bored outlongitudinally, and a pin, 7, passes centrally through such shaft. andis held in position bya coil-spring,14. The edgesetting tool is removedby pressing this pin 7 inward against the tool, the spring returning itto position when released. The outer end of pin 7 is provided with aknob or handle, as shown. provided with an eye, 12, by which it may besuspended by flexible connections to the ceiling by a spring, such asthat shown at 15 in Fig.2. The tool is represented as in'position,

A loop is pivoted within the head, 5 I

arm E, arm F, axially pivoted thereto, and head G, carrying shaft,pulley, and tools, all as set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
